useless post ahead

omg, this dialogue from Not Always Right makes me so happy. It reminds me of one of my favourite work-related entries (look! I found the excellent typo I referred to in my survey post!!), and I am so glad that I am not the only one this ridiculous situation has happened to.

So many people come to the theatre either not knowing what they want to see, or what time it's playing at. Which is so bizarre to me because I would never just wander over to a movie theatre with no information! I think most of the time, if they're just looking for a random movie, they usually manage to find something to watch, but then there are all those unfortunate people who wander in at eight o'clock after all our early shows have started and two hours before all our late shows start ... D:

That is so bizarre.

Also, you guys don't do eight o'clock showings?

(Also, captcha, why are you here?)

According to my manager, most theatres don't. The first shows of the night start between 6:30 and 7:50, then while the movies are running we take our breaks, and then the next set of shows starts around 9:20.

That feels like it's true, but I've definitely been to 8 o'clock showings before. Perhaps people in Maine are just crazy for the pictures, so they have more showings, or something. (Also, 10 o'clock shows as well!)

Yeah, we have 10 o'clock shows - the second set runs from around 9:20 to around 10:30 (although we all moan and groan when the last show is that late).

*makes trouble for theater-workers everywhere*

That's my favorite time to go to the movies! :DDDD
